1a. O ye divine waters, be ye united     Full of sweetness with the sweet,     Winning great radiance for the Ksatriya.     b Unsurpassed, sit ye down, full of strength,     Bestowing great radiance upon the Ksatriya.     c Friend of speech, born of heat, thou art undefeated; thou art the share of Soma.     d The pure I purify you with the pure, the bright with the bright, the immortal with ambrosia, hail! caring for the royal consecration.     e Clothed in these (waters), sharing joy, glorious in strength,     Undefeated and busy,     In the waters hath Varuna made his abode,     The child [1] of the waters in those most motherly.     f Thou art the caul of kingly power, thou art the womb of kingly power.     g Notified is Agni, lord of the house; notified is Indra, of ancient fame; notified is Pusan, all-knower; notified are Mitra and Varuna, increasing holy order; notified are sky and earth, of sure vows; notified is the goddess Aditi, of all forms; notified is he, N. N., descendant of N. N., in this folk, this kingdom, for great lordship, for great overlordship, for great rule over the people.     h This is your king, O Bharatas; Soma is the king of us Brahmans.     i Thou art the bolt of Indra [2] slaying foes; with thee may he slay his foe.     k Ye are overcomers of foes.     l Protect me in front, protect me at the side, protect me from behind; from the quarters protect me; from all deadly things protect me.     m Gold hued in the glowing of the dawns,     Bronze pillared at the rising of the sun,     O Varuna, O Mitra, mount your chariot seat,     And thence behold ye Aditi and Diti.
